Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The SMP/E Receive Order command receives an ABENDD23 RC0002
  ( RC02 ) indicating a WTO error. The failing SVC23 (WTO)
  is being issued from module GIMSGWTR at X'11A8' at level
  UO01434.
  
  PE Information:
  Users Affected:
    User's of the SMP/E RECEIVE ORDER command and users specifying
    the 'DATE=REPLY' parameter on the EXEC statement for the SMP/E
    module GIMSMP.
  
  User Impact:
    SMP/E PTF UO01422 provides support for z/OSMF Software
    Deployment V2R1, but it introduced a new problem.  PTF UO01422
    converted several existing modules to be REENTRANT, but
    neglected to modify the processing of WTO and WTOR messages to
    be REENTRANT.
  
    WTO messages GIM693I and GIM694I are issued during SMP/E
    RECEIVE ORDER processing when SMP/E has to wait more than 15
    minutes for an order to complete.
  
      GIM693 - SMP/E HAS BEEN WAITING xx MINUTES FOR ORDER
      xxxxxxxxxx.  SMP/E WILL WAIT A MAXIMUM OF xx MINUTES.
  
      GIM694 - SMP/E HAS WAITED xx MINUTES FOR ORDER xxxxxxxxxx
      AND WILL CONTINUE TO WAIT BECAUSE NOLIMIT WAS SPECIFIED.
  
    WTOR message GIM399I is issued when a user specifies the
    'DATE=REPLY' parameter on the EXEC statement for the SMP/E
    module GIMSMP.
  
      GIM399I - ENTER THE JULIAN DATE (YYDDD) OR "U".
  
    After PTF UO01422 is installed, some customers experience a
    D23 abend when a WTO/WTOR message is issued, while others
    simply do not see the WTO/WTOR message.  In the case where a
    D23 abend occurs, SMP/E processing fails.  In the case where
    the WTO/WTOR message does not appear, SMP/E processing
    continues with no ill affects.  However, since a WTOR message
    requires a response from the user, a missing WTOR message is a
    problem.
  
  Local Fix:
     Install fixing PTF UO01463 (APAR AO18034).   PTF UO01463
     provides the proper REENTRANT code for issuing WTO and WTOR
     messages.

  Module GIMSGWTR was made REENTRANT by APAR IO14873.  However,
  certain macro calls (WTO and WTOR) within module GIMSGWTR were
  not modified to work in a REENTRANT environment.
  

Problem conclusion

• Module GIMSGWTR has been modified in SMP/E 3.6 to manage WTO and
  WTOR requests properly in a REENTRANT environment.
